| Feature | Benefit |
| Pipelines | Watch your application progress from commit through functional testing, performance testing and UAT to staging and even production. |
| Central artifact repository | Keeps your application's binaries, test data and log files in a central location so that you can get the information and metrics you need in a snap. And then collaborate with team members. |
| LDAP and ActiveDirectory integration | Get end-to-end security. Agent-server communication is secured using SSL and public key infrastructure, with all agents requiring approval to join the grid. |
| Zero-configuration build cloud | Simply install Cruise agents, and they will update themselves automatically, fetch their configuration and any source code they need, and start building. |
| Parallelization | Split long builds into separate units of work and Cruise will run them simultaneously on multiple agents to bring your build time down. Cruise makes software build management easier. |
| Multi-platform testing | Create stages in your pipeline to test your application on multiple combinations of hardware and software. Cruise runs all build plans within a specified stage simultaneously. |
| Simple installation | Get Cruise up and running easily - installing Cruise on a single machine requires exactly zero configuration. |
| Scalable dashboard | Get the information you need at a glance, whether you're a tester working on a single development stream, a program manager monitoring many projects or an operations manager in charge of hundreds of machines. |
